Arduino 7 Segment Display (1 Digit) | Circuit + Code | Counting Numbers | For Beginners

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

Learn how to use a 1-digit 7-segment display with Arduino step by step.

This video is made for students and beginners.
We explain everything slowly and clearly.

What you will learn:
What a 7-segment display is?
Common Cathode vs Common Anode
Correct breadboard connections
Why resistors are needed
Arduino code to display numbers
Counting logic using loops and arrays

Hardware used:
Arduino Uno
1-digit 7-segment display (Common Cathode)
Breadboard
220Ω resistors
Jumper wires

Pin connections:
a → pin 2
b → pin 3
c → pin 4
d → pin 5
e → pin 6
f → pin 7
g → pin 8

Common pin → GND/5V based on your display, procedure on how to know your display type included in the video.
